I'm also an old school type but I think its useful for the up and comers. They don't know about how the extra money is made. And if you, like me, had a few strokes of bad luck (and remember there was no internet when I was up and coming), it is tremendously useful to help them budget a realistic future and make decisions on things like equipment types, more profitable bases to live for pickups etc. Also useful in eliminating "mistake" jobs where the hourly pay looks good until you find out they only get 50 to 60 hours. If you can look at it not as bragging, but as helping share info, I think the heartburn this is giving you will go away.
